Fishing is one of the activities that can be enjoyed on Animal Crossing. Just like real life, you'll need to use creativity and judgment to master this skill.

Steps

1

Buy a fishing rod from Tom Nook. In Wild World, he sells the regular fishing rod for 500 bells. In City Folk, Tom sells both the fishing rod and the silver rod, both for 500 bells each, however, the silver rod is pretty rare. In order to receive the golden fishing rod, a player must catch all of the fish in their designated game. The amount of fish are 40 in Animal Crossing, 56 in Wild World, and 64 in City Folk.

2

Choose a fishing spot. Learn that different kinds of water carry different kinds of fish.

Take out your fishing rod. If you're not holding it, you must take it out from your inventory.

4

Cast your line into the water. Press the "A" button. Do not move or run, as this scares the fish away.

5

Wait until you hear a "plop" sound. There would be times where a fish will nibble on the bait and swim away. If this happens, you'll need to recast your line.

6

Press the "A" button as soon as you hear the sound. A fish nibbles four times before a bite. There are some fish that you can be relaxed on to catch them, but there are others that you need precise timing to get them successfully.
